ome time ago, I acquired a baptismal certificate that presented some Sinteresting possibilities for creating the family tree of a person in the Oshkosh area of Winnebago County, Wisconsin. Baptismal certificates from the 19th century contain not only the name of the individual being baptized, but the parents and godparents as well. Fitting all these people into one family tree would be both the challenge and the problem in this study. The person baptized was Josephine The first clue for the possibility of The next piece of this puzzle did Hermine Lindner, born in 1888. Her serious spelling errors was in the name not come into view until a second parents were Herman1 and Anna of the baptismal sponsor, John marriage record for Herman Lindner Lindner, and the document shows her Henseler. In the record for his marriage was located. His first wife, Anna, godparents or “sponsors” as being Otto to Anna Lindner in 1887, his name passed away in 1890 and in 1892, Lindner, John Henseler, and Amalie Bestler. The important portions of the document are shown here, and armed with that information I proceeded to search a well known website for connections between these folks. Little by little, names emerged along with dates and events that augmented the tree. However, after a bit of time and effort, it soon became apparent that there would not be one family tree, but two of them. There appeared no way of joining the two into a single entity describing a single family. Of course, with the typical While not very dark, the script reads ‘Josephine Hermine/ born the 10th of March, 1888, in genealogist’s mindset, it just had to be Oshkosh/ daughter of Mr. Lindner and his wife Anna/ was baptized the 30th of December, 1888. so, and I kept going over the same ground again and again, with the same comes out “Huiceler.” A transcriber Herman married Pauline Beske.

The interesting thing here is that his surname was spelled two different ways on the same census schedule. The record, located at the bot­ tom of a sheet, flows from one page to the next. Herman’s surname is spelled “Linder” on the first page, but his Godparents were: John Henseler, Otto Lindner, Amalie Bestler. The first two are family members. spouse’s surname is spelled “Lindner”, Amalie Bestler seems to have been a neighbor or family friend. on the following page.

he quest to learn more about the strong women in my family led me to Tbegin searching for information about who they were. I wanted to know their maiden names, their parents, and siblings. What little I knew was that they appeared to live long lives for the time period and each had several children. I discovered how family connections were related. I didn’t know the maiden names of the wives in several of the families, and I was curious to learn all I could about the females in my family. Along the way, I discovered a connection between my ancestors and military service, including my female ancestors. My maternal grandmother Frankie Ellen (Cook) Harris was a pilot for Great North American Aircraft in Grand Prairie, Texas, during WWII. She flight-tested P51 airplanes before they were sent to the military. As Frankie was a civilian, she did not receive a military pension. This Frankie Ellen Cook Harris with P51 piqued my interest in other possible of the conflict.

ften family members only learn details about a relative’s life Oafter they are deceased. Family stories provided no hint that Dorothy Alice (Dougherty) Greenhill was a WWI veteran. Genealogical research uncovered her military service during those turbulent times.

Dorothy Alice Dougherty was born in Monticello, Sullivan County, New York on 31 July 1902, the only child of parents Alice May Young and Thomas H. Dougherty.1 Her birth certificate, which was included as part of the National Personnel Records Center US Naval Reserve Record for Dorothy Dougherty, confirms this date. Thomas Dougherty owned a harness store with a large storefront on Monticello’s main street. On 13 August 1909, much of Monticello’s business district burned down due to a powerhouse fire.2 Alice would have just celebrated her seventh birthday when Figure 1: New York Certificate of Birth for Dorothy Alice Dougherty. this disaster occurred. The town rebuilt, and Thomas’ new store is shown in the postcard image of figure 2. The Dougherty family was still living in Monticello when they were enumerated in the 1910 census.4 The Connecticut Military Census taken in 1917 shows that the family had subsequently moved to New Haven, Connecticut.5 The 1918 New Haven High School Year Book and a family heirloom class ring that belonged to Dorothy inscribed 1918 New Haven Hillhouse Boardman6 suggest that Dorothy graduated high school at a young age. “Hillhouse Boardman” refers to two schools, Hillhouse High School and Boardman Manual Training School, that consolidated in 1904 Figure 2: In this photo of the rebuilt business section of Monticello, to become New Haven High School.7 Thomas H.

The Idea t the TxSGS Family History Conference in Houston Ain October 2019, several of us excitedly discussed the upcoming 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution in 2020. We thought there would be a lot of interest in this event. How cool would it be to look at our own city and see what happened in 1920? How cool to find the poll tax list of the first women who voted in Houston and Harris County!! Then we discovered that in 1918, women could vote in Texas state and local primaries (though not federal elections). We thought that was pretty cool, too. Who knew Texas was a little ahead? Houston women were already part of the political process. Our first stop was to look at the online Houston newspapers to see the election results of the 2 November 1920 election. The 1920 election results showed that out of approximately 13,000 voters in Harris County, about 5,000 were women.1 Five thousand women— that is a do-able list. Cool !!! This ROCKS! What a great local project to celebrate this significant event!!! Think how much fun we can have! Hortense Sparks Ward signing the first voter registration We’re genealogists! We love to do research! Five of us joined this receipt issued to a woman in Harris County in the hallway project as individuals working together. As friends and colleagues, of the courthouse in Houston we have done the reading, the research, the writing, the editing, as well as pounding the pavement talking to librarians, Building “The List” archivists, historians, and other genealogists for our project. So, we had to build our own version of “The List” Since 1920 was also a census year, we planned to cross- from scratch. Monica Andersen found an online article reference “the list” of the reported 5,000 women voters to the in the Houstonia Magazine published in the June 2018 1920 Harris County Census records to get their full names, issue celebrating the 100th anniversary of the passage of addresses, ages, race, and occupations. the 1918 law in Texas. This article, written by Abby Wouldn’t it be cool to plot on a Houston/Harris County map Ledoux, was entitled: “100 Years Ago, Women in Harris those addresses of every woman who voted with red flags or County Were Granted the Right to Vote” and under­ dots?!!! This idea kept growing in our minds. neath the title: “Thanks to Hortense Sparks Ward’s We thought it would be a fairly easy task.
